taylor swift - midnights

lavender haze

  • songwriting feels like lover album?
  • fun synth bass
  • reputation type feel tho

maroon

  • big droneeeee
  • i guess this is a “pop album”
  • is this talking about uchicago??? lol
  • red energy colorz
  • this feels like 1989
  • the chorus ending is like new years day: and the memories they will hold onto you

anti-hero*

  • like the singing tone/lyrics + pronunciation fit voice more here!!
  • these snares so poppy very 1989 energy
  • ant-eh hero
  • woah cool ear candy wubwubwub vocoder?
  • this chorus/outro is funny lol “hi”

snow on the beach

  • nice lana energy! but WHERE IS LANA lol!
  • the ad libs are nice!
  • these bridges i don’t really like these days D: idk just all pretty boring and similar
  • i don’t really like this phrase “snow on a beach” but maybe jsut needs to grow on me. but i guess that’s the point the cognitive dissonance
  • sad feat for lana

you’re on your own, kid

  • new kinda guitar energy cool feels like start to calvin harris or smtn lol
  • all these pumping drums every track
  • loooool that baby riser was dope
  • nice sound design moment instrumental break gud 1 lorde screachy
  • cool journey song here
  • enjoy how it just ends

midnight rain

  • woahhh the formant shift noice one taylor fun
  • the verse sounds like clean —> drought was the very worst
  • i do not like this chorus D:
  • radio fade is that even cool anymore?

question

  • more formant shift!
  • i like the verse
  • just not enjoying these choruses… how to describe them?
  • i feel like the production so far is all very much same-y (inter songs and intra song, not a ton of tension + release aside from like bigger drums) —> guess it’s really focused on the singing, but also the singing performances themselves don’t do that
  • this bridge is the worst lol
  • these taylor swift ‘ohhhs’ ugh breathy voice D:

vigilante shit

  • nice reputation energy
  • synths and perc are dope here
  • i feel like this song feels limited by her vocal performance doesn’t hold up to the production D:

bejeweled

  • not enjoying how she jams in syllables these days D:
  • and the like everything sta cc a to
  • NICE! —> put this on a soundboard
  • this song is like wid ya girls a lil funny “ayy” “shimmer”!
  • made me laugh so yay

labyrinth

  • interesting chorus break
  • lol i’m just thinking of honeymoon avenue “HONEYMOON AVENUE” w/ the pitch shift
  • idk chorus just feels uninspired

karma

  • back to present, in the front vocals
  • reminds me of reputation type stuff
  • lol i’m still here —> uh oh uh oh uh oh from lover me
  • this one’s fun. i think it just owns it being fun which makes it more fun :)

sweet nothing*

  • seems promising from the start! now more folklore type energy/ isn’t this like cardigan?invisible string?
  • the production is like that one song
  • yuh the horns coming thru
  • i think this was a nice latter half album track change of pace
  • still wish there was more push and pull in the performance tho -> but it’s homey and quaint like that

mastermind

  • arrrrrrrrpp
  • nice i like the sound design a lot here
  • i think the beginning is quite good
  • it’s aight. i think the words end up a bit clunky but nothing out of the ordinary these days i guess
  • man really wanted to like this one after the first verse! but i dunno it just flopped going on from there

overall:

  • overall feels like an interesting mix of b-side tracks from past albums (reputation/lover/1989/folklore)
  • anti hero, karma, mb lavender haze gonna b the popular ones?
  • i like antihero, you’re on your own kid, sweet nothing the most as of now
